Petrol seems to be the new toilet paper, proving that uncertainty and panic can lead people to behave in very strange ways.
And while we laugh now at the absurdity of clearing supermarket shelves of loo paper so we could wipe our collective bottoms during COVID, the reported stockpiling of fuel by some in our community since the war in Iran erupted is another matter entirely.
Whether or not we face an actual scarcity in Australia – with the government insisting localised shortages are due to high demand from panic buying, rather than lack of supply – the longer the war drags on the more uncertain the future fuel situation appears.
Soaring petrol and diesel prices are just the beginning.
Alongside anecdotal reports of pumps in some regional towns running dry, stories have emerged of people rushing to fill multiple jerry cans “just in case”. But some genuine customers are being falsely accused of hoarding.
Take the dairy farmers from regional Victoria, who posted this week about their experience after their regular fuel supplier was unable to deliver their usual order.
They found a local service station willing to have them come and fill a large pod to keep the farm operating, but copped “glares, rude comments, everyone staring and judging us like we were breaking the law”. They were reduced to tears as they tried in vain to explain that without diesel for tractors, they couldn’t sow crops to feed the cattle that in turn help feed our nation.
Rural and regional communities in general rely on fuel more than their city counterparts, due to longer distances and less public transport infrastructure. A shortage, if it did eventuate, could have dreadful consequences in disrupting supply chains, impacting agricultural production, increasing social isolation and restricting healthcare and education.
Fingers crossed the unrest fuelling this crisis does not drag on so long that rationing – or worse –becomes part of our lives.
In the meantime, please be both RESPONSIBLE and KIND at the bowser.
